SMH: When working day is done, superheroes really get skates on.

DURING the week they work as lawyers, nurses, managers and mothers, but come the weekend they strap on skates and take part in one of Australia's fastest-growing sports: roller derby. The Sydney Roller Derby League held its first grand final yesterday, with the Sydney City CB-Deviants taking out the cup over the Screaming Assault Sirens. It was a close match. The scores were relatively even until the Deviants pulled ahead in the final 10 minutes of the match to win with a 14-point lead. Roller derby is a full-contact game played on roller skates, with two teams of five women skating around an oval track. "It's kind of like being a super-hero out there; we have all these character names and we're doing all these moves and manoeuvres," said Tiffany Knight, who skates under the name Captain Ratz.

Given the recent comments on my concert photography article and the A Photo Editor blog regarding the Jane’s Addiction photo release, I thought the topic of rights grab contracts deserved some attention. The full text of the JA release and my overall strategy for dealing with these predatory documents after the jump. Rights grab photography releases are a fairly recent evil of the concert photography business. Whether you want to make a living from shooting or not, all music photographers should actively resist these predatory documents and have a clear strategy for doing so. I don’t have all of the answers but I have had some success. How to deal with Rights Grab Photography Contracts 1) Do not sign them. 2) Let your editors know that you don’t sign them and make sure they are aware of the issues. 3) When negotiating be polite, rational and professional but stand your ground. 4) Avoid bashing the band. 5) No matter who you’re talking to, explain that: JA-Photo-Release.

'Portraits from Above' In South America the slums are attached to the outskirts of mega-cities such as Caracas and Mexico City like wasps’ nests on a cliff face. In a hilly island city like Hong Kong, however, living space is limited. Here you only see the laboriously constructed huts made of corrugated iron and planks of wood in which the poorest of the poor live if you look upwards – they occupy, to put it in cynical terms, a penthouse location.

At first, we were merely amazed. Hundreds of readers answered our request on Tuesday for their Polaroid photographs, in response to an article in The Times about efforts afoot in the Netherlands to reinvent instant film. By the time we closed the submission gates on Thursday morning, 932 of your pictures had arrived. Our amazement, however, soon gave way to grateful and respectful astonishment. The quality of the work was even more impressive than the quantity. Lens readers in this hemisphere, in Europe and in Asia showed an imaginative command of the medium. Their work exploited the idiosyncracies of the Polaroid formats, especially the SX-70 films: the square format, the slightly soft-edged rendition, the occasional defects from the developing process, a color palette that paradoxically seemed warmer than normal but also bent a bit toward blues and greens. 1000 Portraits.

Alexithymia /ˌeɪlɛksəˈθaɪmiə/ is a personality construct characterized by the subclinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self.[1] The core characteristics of alexithymia are marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relating.[2] Furthermore, people with alexithymia have difficulty in distinguishing and appreciating the emotions of others, which is thought to lead to unempathic and ineffective emotional responding.[2] Alexithymia occurs in approximately 10% of the population and can occur with a number of psychiatric conditions.[3] The term alexithymia was coined by psychotherapist Peter Sifneos in 1973.[4][5] The word comes from Greek α (a, "no", the negating alpha privative), λέξις (léxis, "word"), and θυμός (thymos, "emotions", but understood by Sifneos as having the meaning "mood"),[6] literally meaning "no words for mood".
